According to foreign media reports on January 9, a farmer in Aksaray, Turkey, in order to increase the milk production of his cows in the cold winter, thought of a strange trick, put ON VR glasses for the cows, the camera played the scene of the summer grassland, the effect was surprisingly good, after wearing the VR helmet, the cows seemed to have awakened their blood, thinking that they had returned to the grassland, the mood became happy, and the milk production also increased significantly.
The wearable VR devices were developed by veterinarians and tested for the first time in 2019 on a farm in Moscow, Russia, not only to simulate summer pastures, but also to play classical music to cows by local manufacturers. Experiments have proved that "playing the piano to cows" is effective, VR glasses can create a "peaceful and quiet" atmosphere for dairy cows, have a significant "soothing effect" on the induction of cows, and also have a positive impact on the production and flow of milk.
This VR glasses for cows was developed on the basis of human VR glasses, and since cows are all color blind, a special color imaging setting was made for the color palette when designing glasses, based on design principles that make cows better perceive red shadows, making them more suitable for cow vision. The results showed that these VR glasses can effectively stimulate the appetite of cows and reduce the anxiety of cows.
As a result, according to the Daily Star, The Sun, Turkish farmer Izet Kojak has now placed VR equipment on his two cows, which seem happier than ever, increasing milk production from 22 litres per day to 27 litres per day.
The farmer was so happy with the results that he planned to buy another 10 sets of equipment. He told reporters that these cows see the pasture grassland in their eyes, and their emotions will be positive and happy, and the pressure of milk production will be much less.
Photos of cool cows wearing VR went viral on the Internet media, and many netizens compared them to the "Matrix" movie, in which humans live in simulated reality and machines use their bodies as energy.
Someone even quipped, "If you take the short grass, the story will end, and you'll wake up at the ranch and believe in the reality you want to believe." If you take the long grass, you will stay in Wonderland, and like Alice Roaming Wonderland, you will know how deep the 'rabbit hole' of humans is. ”
The future has come, and the metaverse is everywhere! VR equipment in the 5G era will no longer stop at simple game visual experiences, but will also empower agriculture, medical industry, service industry and many other industries with the rapid development of science and technology, and spawn some emerging industries.
